What do we recon about Sunday? 2022? I'm a bit of a pessimist but don't think we are going to see this one at all. I think it will just get knocked on the head. I feel the same about Dolly. |

Dolly I think we'll get because it's a British star. The chances of Jake making it over here for Sunday are I would think very slim but the production might go ahead without him.

I suppose for Imelda Staunton it will depend on the filming of The Crown. I think there will be a lot of "if only" productions due to covid |

I'm willing to bet the vast majority of tickets were sold on his name. Would the amount of refunds be worth their whole rather than just cancelling outright? |

Season 5 starts filming June 2021 and season 6 sometime in 2022 so I suppose it depends if she can fit Dolly in between and there's a theatre available. Wasn't there also plans to transfer Gypsy to Broadway? |

They might be waiting to see what the numbers look like with Sister Act - will people still be so keen to see anything that they'll keep the tickets regardless? But then, Sister Act is based on a highly successful film with big songs, whereas SITPWG is a rather more rarefied treat which would could struggle to sell out a commercial theatre without a name. What's Alfie Boe up to? |

I think Sunday was sold more as an event than just a revival of the musical. So without Jake can't see it going ahead in the current and near future climate. It would be a hard sell.
Sunday is quite a niche musical even amongst MT lovers, afterall Sondheim ain't everyone's cup of tea.
I even know 2 lots of people who booked it just for Jake and had no idea it was a musical until I told them.
But if it had gone ahead last year it would have been my highlight of the year along with Dolly.

I booked for Sunday in the Park with George as I’d never seen it. The cast was a bonus. I agree that most people booked for the star though
